The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
Are There Any Good People in 'Succession?'
"You're one of my go to guys on pop culture. So I assume you're caught up on Succession. Well, you know, as a matter of fact, I am. All right, no spoilers, please. Did it occur to you that there is no one who is a good person in that show, not one person. I was talking with my son last night in The Sopranos, we came up with one or two people who were good people, but in white lotus, there are none and in succession, there are negative people. I mean, they turn not bad people into terrible people. Am I wrong? I think that is the most important observation you can make about this because you're absolutely right. And it's something that kind of wears on me and I just kind of ultimately give up because I want to actually find somebody with some redeeming qualities. You're absolutely right about The Sopranos. And if there were such people. And this is a show in which just everybody is horrible.

This particular antibody, it's called monoclonal because it's just the monoclonal antibody shot is nearly 80 % effective against RSV severe enough to warrant medical attention. Its main side effects include rashes and irritation at the injection site and it comes with a warning about the potential for anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction which can be life threatening. As for the timing of the shot, it's right now. It is only recommended in the RSV preceding the RSV season.

"Oh i go to the forest. I live in the forest hermitage. Then i have peaceful life then i can live by myself but decided that person neighbor live by himself or herself after he or she leaves this monday and world. Why he's crazy. Mine is still her crazy. Mine is still there. He or she living with the second person only people leaving this monday. And we'll go and find you know the secluded isolated life. They never find that life why they are distracted. Difficult mine all these exit there. Maybe you get the break. Then he the buddha said who is the second person you are distracted. Difficult desire full mind. That's is a composite. So i if person you are not live by yourself you always lead somebody else. They will don't run away from the world to find easy life. Easy life is right here right now. Whatever you do people think. If i have a less work i'm happy then. If i have less work. I can focus. I'm totally going totally opposite. And what you heard before. When i have listing and less work i have easy like off course why you don't have more things. I'm not asking you to have more things if we have more things usually. I can't handle. It is too much that means you are. That's how you can play the game. Widely are working and be mindful. You veena not distraction. Nothing to play. Make sense if you don't have distraction what you're gonna do nothing to iman thousand people if you can live peacefully. You are the winner among angry people. If you can live loving kindness you are the winner. That is the teaching of the buddha. But what we are looking for easy life where we are looking for easy nor difficult people know annoying. People know annoying family members. No annoying husband or wife no annoying monk. No annoying world know politics. Do you think you find such a world. I tried so many years. I was learning to place to place. Iran australia to find that piece. I didn't get it then. I thought that is crazy. I will run to somewhere else then. Iran to japan to find peace. I didn't get it and sri lanka again didn't get it then. Iran to america didn't get it then. I was in michigan. Didn't get it then. I was thinking no. There is no happiness in michigan temple. I had to go to chicago then. I came no happiness. I did lots of work but my happiness is not this building. My happiness is not you. My happiness is not in japan. My happiness is not what i'm doing. My happiness is my own. Mind how i am thinking however processing myself so people are looking for easy life. Easy life mean middle of all the cares if you can manage your life like lotus flower blooming from the mud and water and be about open to the world. If you can live like that daddy's otherwise you'll never ever find a place. Call easy life for me to lille so what i'm asking you. They are being angry with people being angry with situation being angry and difficult with things. Don't try to find the peace among all those challenges and difficulties if you can something centered yourself then you can do thousands of millions of things in life to help yourself and the help the world sometime other day. Somebody asked me now. I'm traveling because of the. I used to have so many days. Almost two hundred days per year. I was travelling so one day. Somebody asked me bump into you. Relax when do you have some rest. I was little confused. When i hear that gration deny ansa now so we only thinking i know. We need the physical healing time and rest time. I understand we always do. But if you can change your perspective while other people are talking to me. If i'm mindful and aware about my own feeling my own skin. I'm resting why i'm not. I'm trying to help them listening to them. I'm not allowing all other people to bring everything into my life. I'm a like a screen. That means i'm putting a wedding where i can see through right. Don't let other things to go. You know these days. We have mosquitoes to open the window. We can open the window. We had the screen but then we get the fresh air. But we don't get the most does exactly the same analogy. Just be open person race every second after your change in your own. Mind if you're changing your prospect to how you're thinking about the situation and things and we will you all list- every minute you can be joyful happy and you have beautiful easygoing life otherwise everyday whether you come to the bluewater stempler you go to the judge whether you're following the buddhism or other religions or whatever all these people are complaining about life but i don't hear that complain if it is difficult for me to hear that complain that something wrong with me so now. I'm about any thoughts. If you don't like what i said. It's okay to anything out win there. will you have beautiful life. You have food to eat you living in a good country. How beautiful when. I was in rank. One mother came to me and crying while. I'm giving the groceries this difficult time to children young lady. Maybe she's thirty years old crying and crying and crying. I become emotional. Do because she said my children today they just one meal. Just be so brad so you do have that problem. I don't think so. So therefore you have beautiful life appreciate it enjoyed if you are going to live another two hundred years vice okay to how little unhappiness but life is short. We don't know about tomorrow but we know today. We have wonderful life if you're complaining about it and feel miserable. It is unfortunate so the purpose of coming to the blue lotus temple to bring that awareness and participate due to your mind. Hell fun i. The data jolly dharma fund about that. Dharma fun okay.

Then they become a monk or non always spiritual leader then whatever. They are unhappy people. Because i have my own experience and also i had speed is other people then that one also doesn't work then bidding. This life doesn't work then. The best thing i had to go to your side. They're doing well. Look you're that people are doing really well. They have money they have expensive cars. 'cause then you know after become among their thinking or they have a better life then i try that then. They go to dead direction. You come to this direction. We go to that. I can see all those things are happening in the world. I had that crazy cuckoo mine to not anymore not anymore now being in decide now other group of people going to the debt side then what is happening. This people go to decide this this thing. We always bouncing back and forth. Then we are complaining about the world complaining about the people complaining about the situation complaining about the things what we have now. Sometimes people come to me and said. My problem is my facebook account. How many people experience that. My problem is my facebook account. Facebook account is not the problem. Some people you know the other days. I'm marie told me. My problem is my phone. If your problem is to throw it the river you do something actually. Your phone is not the problem so things are not the problem exists in the world as they are in between those things we are living a life now disneysea no right. You know. People teach yoga. You can talk about yoga like bill. You lecture like about yoga. Somebody learned yoga practice. Yoga listening to yoga after you get the theories then what we had to do. We had a practice. Now somebody can you talk about swimming. But you aren't really do the swimming. You had to get into the ocean or the ball. You had to learn how to do it which i cannot. I cannot submit so it's interesting right so anyway. That's what people always doing now. So my concern today. If you won't have an easy life only thing we all had do. Change our perspective about life. So now i. I'm the lead of the blue lotus temple as a leader with. I'm here in this country with. I mean sri lanka with i mean. The halen doesn't matter either. I have some responsibility about this temple. Opt i maybe not then. I don't think anybody called me. So now i always thinking win amelita here about in this temple. My responsibility is sticking garo displays. Helping this place and many this place with other people are the amongst all supporters. Like ill how going how. I'm doing now running displays. I am helping. All you are helping. The staff of the temple is helping everybody's helping but as a leader. I have big part in my head to run this place the day. Open this place to the public in this building. I said it bill. Remember that mission completed. Do you remember that mission completed. I'm ready then. Everybody was thinking. I'm crazy now. I just opened. The temple am ready to leave. I don't misunderstand. I'm not leaving leaving but mentally. I left this place. then we have beautiful sensory lanka. They were there in sri lanka. You were there in sri lanka. So when i'm there. I know i had run this place. I had to be many. I had run this place. I do all my responsibilities. I don't think it is stress. I don't think it is difficult. I just do it. But the left sri lanka thirtieth early morning. I disliked it now. I'm not worrying about it. So when i'm here i'm here running it when i'm there i'm there running it mentally. It is totally gone. Why veer. I'm thinking about the things and people might perspective change. I said why. I'm letting go everything in life because i need everything makes sense. Did you get it. Why am letting go everything and everybody in my life. Because i need them all after. Let go everything and everybody from my life. They have in my life forever peacefully when i cannot let go emotionally. Mentally heat is bothering me. That's why we have uneasy life because right now. I'm asking you today. Don't try to escape. Don't try to escape from the things and the people so once the said some people won't have isolated life secluded life. That's a beautiful sounds beautiful. Then they are thinking..

TV's White Guys Are in Crisis
"So we're going to try this episode to critique the position of white guys on television without sort of repeating the problem that white guys on television currently present which is that. they're not the point and yet they're the point. I want to dive in by talking about this great piece. Catherine wrote for vulture about the crisis. That white guys are going through genetic. Maybe you'd think it's not really an emergency. So bad so white guys are still of course all over television as they are in the world but they are on television in a different way in certainly in some new shows and they have been in the past. And you can see that in shows like peacock sitcom rutherford falls. Amc's genre bending. Kevin can himself and the two big hits of summer. Hbo's hotel drama. The white lotus featuring a bevy of white guys who were going to get into and of course ted lasso. Basically the white guy who used to be. Tv's default protagonists are not but who are they. What does it say about them. And us catherine have i. We're gonna keep talking now. I would just shamelessly coach from your piece. So why don't you tell us. It's central argument. Yeah for what i think the framing of it as a crisis it has been really interesting to see responses from two different sides of sort of people who look at the headline that are immediately put off by it. People who are like. I don't want to hear about a crisis for white guys like i'm done. We talked about them too much. And then of course from the other like terrifying side of white guys being like extremely mad at me and sending me all kinds of emails but it was in response to something. I started noticing as a pattern in new television shows that were coming out this summer. And something i saw. Rutherford falls and kevin can f- himself in particular.

Bill Gates on the Important Choices He Made in His Tenure at Microsoft
"As the founder and operating ceo for twenty five years of one of the most prolific invaluable startups. I wanted to start with your perspective on the important choices that you made during your tenure microsoft and how you view those choices as they've related to the long-term growth story at the company well microsoft was very lucky in that we're not a capital intensive business. You know it was financed by money. I made in high school. And i did the school gasoline and there was all sorts of things you can do and make money fairly easily in those days. 'cause i'm people who knew how to do. Software things was was very small. We did take an investment. We sold five percent of the company and by the way from twenty million to win a million dollars from venture firm dave mark carts venture them just because we wanted to have him actually. It was more senior people but it ended up being him. Advise us about various choices we had to make and those early days we were because we knew that software was this magical thing and it was enabled because the chip was magical and weirdly. People didn't understand that. Moore's law essentially said that computing power would be infinite and so the best way to think about it was to say okay. Software would be the limiting factor towards any sort of digitally assisted activity and we thought of ourselves as a software company. We ended up competing with companies that were single product companies. so like. I wonder if anybody's here's ever heard like ashton tape or has anybody ever heard ashton. Okay good was a great article where i gave a hardcore speech about our database in it. Said gate says ashton-tate never existed. But i did actually say that. I said that they might cease to exist at some point anyway very competitive. There was a spreadsheet called one-two-three a word processor called wordperfect so these were single product companies and in terms of really building your engineering tools. You're international distribution sales consulting. How you work with corporate tells forced you thought of yourself as a software company and a platform company was very different than saying okay. I have one two three. Which was a lotus spreadsheet products. So we didn't feel for ambition but then the intensity of executing on it was super super

That they're trying to keep their business bubble free all fads start out the same way with this feeling inside that you just gotta have something that everyone else already has for zach hill in fifth grade. That thing was a tiny plush animal filled with idi beans. The beanie baby was named garcia. It was tied. I'd teddy bear hickory. Ridge mall in memphis tennessee. I think i was trying to impress a girl. Or something. And i bought garcia for like seven bucks with some allowance. Money didn't know that he was at the beginning of a beanie baby bubble because bubbles always seem harmless at the first stage. Just a simple fat. Then someone figures out they can make money by reselling. That thing i ran into my friend. True and drew really wanted. Garcia was swept up in the craze. Like i was. He's i i want that. I want that i want that and i'm like dude.

How 'sex addiction' has historically been used to absolve white men
"A mass shooter drove into Atlanta and targeted three spots in the area. He killed eight people, six of whom were Asian women. Law enforcement officials have held off on calling the attack racially motivated. They say the perpetrator instead blamed his sex addiction. Well, experts and many others say it is damaging to separate race from this conversation because it ignores the history of hyper sexual ization and fetishization of Asian women in the U. S. Nancy Wang Yun is a professor of sociology at Biola University. She studies pop culture and specializes in race and ethnicity in media, particularly in Asian American representation. She joins us now to help provide some context to this whole conversation, and just a warning. This conversation contains content that may not be suitable for all listeners Welcome. Thank you for having me. So when you first heard that authorities in Georgia we're holding off on calling this a racially motivated attack, And instead, they focused on the suspects. Quote unquote sex addiction, as if that were a separate alternate explanation for these shootings. Tell me what you first thought of that. My first thought. I don't think I can say on public radio. I was just so angry, and I just thought, you know, and also thought like, you know, they just these police officers, and maybe all of America just doesn't understand. How racism and sexism intersect and this man, I mean, let's get into it. This man, according to law enforcement, said that he committed What he did this week to quote eliminate his temptations. Only as you know, how does that Connect to your understanding of the way Asian women have been hyper sexualized and fetishized in American society, like Can we just take a moment for you? And I to say out loud what those sexual stereotypes of Asian women are? I think submissive and I've actually gotten this is, you know really personal, But I've actually been asked if my anatomy is different. So a kind of very fetishized exotic sized that we're somehow even physiologically different from other women on guy thing that goes back to history of fetishization of women of color in this country. And servile. Um what else? Exotic Lotus flowers? Yes. Dragon Lady's temptresses. Yes. And I think with the lotus blossom like death at the end of movies like there, they never survive. Esso it Z kind of Madame Butterfly. Miss Saigon thing where You know that you want you want them, But then you also you know, can't have them. They're like they're taboo. They're forbidden. And let's not forget full metal jacket. Yes. S O the prostitute right? The Asian prostitute and that's a very common stereotype. And the kind of I think propositions that Asian women get in public all surround full metal jacket, quotes and they're They're horrible and everyone knows them, even though the movie is rather old, but it's now part of Society or culture in general, like life imitating art and imitating kind of an imagined life, right, Right. So when you heard reports that this man is perpetrator said that he He committed these shootings to quote eliminate his temptations. What did that say to you about his motivations? First of all, I thought that he completely dehumanized these these women, right? He labeled them as temptations to be excised to be to be eliminated. I mean, these are human beings, right? He is the one. If he has an addiction, he has the problem. Y treat whatever fetish that he has, you know, with Asian women love Y treat the women as the problem. I mean, this kind of externalization of his own issues is it was so horrible to hear. And as an Asian woman it felt like Holy dehumanizing.

Why The 90's Was The Decade Of The SuperCar
"To pass gas. I'm your host known sites trying to always by james pump. Frey hello there. Everyone it is i james and not an pasta and joe weber. What's up wink wink nation. I'm here for you. And i am fired up and as as the boys have been Saying we are talking about ninety supercars today on this episode. We were talking before we started. Recording i think like we're a little bias as far as the nineties. Being the greatest time for supercars that's like saying like the nineties is the best time for cartoons. Yes because that's when joe and i grew up at least win win. Did you grow knowing how old a year you're six years six years old Yeah i mean born in ninety three so like my k- yeah you're the first time when you realize supercars where thing was in the nineties. I sure i heard third eye blind on the radio is what you're saying about three eleven. Her three eleven to okay got it. So like like the diablo's the labor gyn machines. Those are big big parts of your formative years for sure. Yeah now supercars are a lot more prevalent. Yeah i feel like within the last ten years like it's blew up again. But i feel like the nineties really set the president the president the president and showed what was possible and kind of like blew the whole supercar thing out of the water because we had just come out of the malays era and people were like. I want something fast and flashy and purple and green are really cool right now so. Let's just make cars like debt for sure. And i think you know from the sixties to the eighties like cars. That would be considered supercars today. I mean there are just called sports cars you know. Yeah 'cause they were. They were really fast. Yeah not the ninety s great supercars because it literally defined that genre. That's when he started seeing like dance materials carbon fiber the. That's it that's it really for me only carbon-fiber that's the only qualifier. I think we should just get right into it. Yeah let's go. let's go so so. How did we get to the nineties. Being the definitive era of supercars the term supercar itself isn't really official it. Roughly describes a high performance. Luxury or exotic. Sports car generally a two seater with at least an eight cylinder engine. Although that'll probably change here the trend towards these vehicles started as far back as the sixties when detroit started shoehorning big block. v8's into sedans and turning the results loose on the american public and of course we know those as muscle cars across the atlantic european manufacturers were also busy refining. their lightweight. sports cars what. These smaller cars lacked in displacement and seating they made up for easily in handling and driveability as a sixties turned into the seventies. Those massive motors became liabilities with the looming gas crisis and clean air act of nineteen seventy then the second oil crisis in nineteen seventy nine. The industry yet again. An american cars continued to get smaller and more efficient manufacturers in the. Us knew they had to do something. So they're carburetors. Were replaced by fuel injection and distributors being swapped for coil packs. But we weren't there yet after all the one thousand nine hundred. Five corvette made her on the same horse. Power as a well-equipped twenty twenty. Camry the so-called malays era when autos reached a low point of reliability and performance was in full swing. New emissions equipment was starving the motors of their power. And even in the instances where these new cars had style. The eighty-five corvette being a prime example was under. The hood didn't match up that being said the eighties were still an impressive decade for supercars. Just not in the united states. American consumers still reeling from the death of the muscle car scene started looking abroad for inspiring performance. Every decade is a reaction to the one that came before in the eighties shoved back. The seventies with an absolute explosion of high performance supercars a handful of imported performance. Cars like the lamborghini coon tash for testarossa and the lotus esprit were blowing enthusiasts minds and with the stock market. Looking like pikes peak. There were selling faster than cocaine in wall. Street bathrooms by the nineties. A lot of that pesky emissions tech that was thrust on manufacturers was starting to get smarter as we're onboard computers and fuel injectors the progressing technology let engines breathe better and pass their gases in ways. That didn't starve the performance. Nice if you if you like stories like this check out. Our podcast passed gas. Celebrities enrich folks. Were having a hard time justifying spending big bucks on stiff bucket seats and jarring track suspension setups and manufacturers took the hint burr example lamborghini spent the late eighties upgrading. The coon tauch into the diablo. The coon tosh is often derided for having a borderline unusable only tight interior that overheats quickly so they lengthened diablo to improve the comfort ability in the cabin. The word is this comfort. Yeah right after ability never heard of that. Is that a diablo right there. This is a blow right here and it's purple too. Yeah that's the blister. That i had

What Are Hydrophobic Plants?
"Going to introduce a poly celebic and scientific term. And that is hydrophobic which means fear of water and we're not talking about literal fear but you may have noticed. There are some plants in the garden where the water just beads up and rolls off and we say that these plants have hydrophobic leaves and you might wonder why this happens how it happens if it helps plants if it hurts plants. And that's what we're going to talk about today. Yeah and sometimes people refer to this as the low dose effect right because lotus plants which heard the aquatic plants that have gorgeous flower and the pretty pod their leaves do this and this works for the plant in several ways doesn't it it does and it's really interesting. I've i've always seen this effect and you mentioned the lotus and that's a one. The thing that it's most common to me on is is al camilla. What's the common name for al camilla. Why am i blanking on lady's mantle. That's right lady's mantle and you walk through the garden in the early morning when the do has settled on the plants. And you look at a leaf of lady's mantle and it's like a work of art with all those perfect round drops on the leaf. There's a lot of different things that can cause that but usually it has to do with the surface of the leaf itself and and how it reacts when waterfalls on it the reason that some leaves have evolved to do. This is several fold first of all in areas like rainforest areas where it rains every afternoon. At four o'clock right. Yeah if a plant is repeatedly repeatedly getting wet a particularly in a place like a rain forest where is humid and warm. That's sort of the ideal conditions for fungal problems. For various. Right leaves fungi. And the fact that this water doesn't stay on the leaf but beads up and rolls off. That helps the leaf not to get leave diseases. That's perfect and the interesting thing. Is that in very dry places. This is a useful characteristic because the water lands on belief. Rolls right off. And where does it go. It goes to the root zone of the plant where it can be most useful and be absorbed so it's just another example of how amazing nature is and how this these characteristics have evolved in very different ecosystems helping the plant in each one of them but in different ways and i just think that is so cool is so

It seems that quite young age you understood the primary role that mind has to play in emotional wellbeing. In, your childhood life, it seems as though it was very, very difficult growing up in the inner city life of poverty and racism, and there were some abandoned men and. And in fact, a lot of violence around you and so my question is, when was it that you began to look inward Lee for your strength rather than blaming the outside world? That's a really, really good question because I think as a child when I was growing up, I did get very confused and I was very interested because the adults around me their behavior and they were suffering so much. So this is very I guess empathetic child. So I could feel what was happening around me I could see the suffering and so that did make. Me Inquire what is causing this and I think I read in the book at just age five years old I turned to my older sister and said, wow, this is gonna be really hard. It's going to be a hard life because I could just see it. You know there wasn't a lot of wisdom we were poor. We were black I was like, okay here we go. There there's you know this is going to be you know a of hill-climb here And I think I just I. Just stayed really interested and as I got older I started to study psychology. Young teenager I got very interested in self-help bugs and Wayne Dyer I was reading in the fifth grade. I read one of his books. How did you come into? Wayne dyers book and were you living in? Compton at the time now we were actually living in a little apartment. We were up in northern California. We had migrated up we back and forth between southern and northern. California and we're in northern California and my mother was depressed and went to the librarian went to the self help section, and of course all back. Then there was Louis. Wayne Tire. And Louis Hayes so I think it was his book you'll believe it when you you'll see it when you believe it. And I remember reading that and I remember saying, yes or something with my mind I knew it and he affirms But I wasn't I. Didn't have the support to go deeper. Obviously I was ten and so but I remember men something like, yes there's something going off my thinking and the people around me, their thoughts it's making them suffer and it's leading to this behavior and addiction, and so the night just continued he knows I got older and older until I really started. Practicing Meditation like Eighteen Nineteen and when when was that that I do you remember the first time you tried meditation. We'll the very first time was when I read. Wayne dyers book and I went in there. Then in there I I the funny thing is I, told my mother was six anyone to go to school. So I played like I was sick to stayed home. and. Had nothing to do at that time our TV was broken and we didn't have money to fix it, and so there was a stack of books that was it and that's let and I tried to practice I. Remember I tried to count down from ten to zero and I couldn't do it. Of course thought came you know I was noticing that and going Oh. Side gave up for that time being but I got really interested a later when I was a part of this church called Gubbay pay here in southern Colorado Beckwith Beckwith who I adore and I've who's been you know great supporter of mine endorsed my book and I started to practice more, and then that led me into different traditional. Hindu. Tradition with Parma's Uganda. Realization Fellowship Centralisation down the street here in Carlsbad. I really got into practice there but then not led me into of the Dharma and I. I long retreat was a day retreat where I learned the pasta meditation, which Cornfield Pasta Meditation Sometimes, a translation is sort of insight meditation insight meditation. What can I before we get there? Can You? Can you describe what led you to the to to that to go on at ten day retreat like why would? Is. Not. Every day that somebody just like is. Packed up and goes to a ten day retreat. So what led you to that we looking for something Well I think when I had joined the self realization fellowship, I was really interested in meditation. I'd read a book somebody left a book on my table, and in this apartment I was living in an Oakland and I opened it and it just. A whole world opened. It was all about meditation. And I realized then that I wanted to live a spiritual life, it was like it was like death rebirth moment and was like goodbye to this. Hello to this. Of course, I want to spiritually based life in years how I do it By circumstances around you where they conducive to that spiritual life. Now I mean, what were you doing? It's crazy town now selling timeshare living with this crazy guy I'm sure. Yeah. Selling timeshares that was smoking weed I. Wasn't you know I had bills. I wasn't responsible everything was you know we're at that time I moved in with him in East Oakland it was just it wasn't good and I got very depressed and self realization fellowship was beautiful. But they didn't have any technique. They just go to these three hour meditation kind of kind of method to apply. Exactly. They would just say love God and I would say, okay, I'm trying but three hours later I didn't know it didn't feel like I was getting where I needed to go. Right? It was like the self realization happening right thought about my issues for three hours. I. Didn't know how to eventually if I sat long enough. Out of sheer to giving up my mind got quiet but I needed I felt as if I needed a teacher, there was an living teacher was just the disciples in the programs that they had it in. You know. So I started praying for a living teacher I need help my brain. Oh, very much I prayed and prayed and prayed, and then sure enough I heard about this ten day retreat in the desert and they said they you. Instructions and there's teachers there and you can talk to them and they're alive. You know it's not just books.
